We did it on our first cruise and we gave out lots of goodies and got lots of goodies. DS made out like a bandit! It was nice to come back to the room and see all the surprises there from other DISers.

Here Thee Here Thee,
Queen Kimberly & Prince Evan

Have just booked a 4 day cruise on Disney’s Wonder this past Sunday, we will also be doing the 3 day Wonder Sept 10th after that we are heading to WDW for the next week then back on the boat on Sept 20th, then I am off at the end of the month to cruise with RCCL with my mother I will need a vacation after a vacation LOL, this will be my first Disney Cruise, I have cruised with Carnival and RCCL, so I am looking forward to this one, I hope it lives up to all the hype, I am concerned about the food issues and the quality, I am one that does cruise for the food, so we will see, My son is subjecting me to watching the DCL CD 3 to 4 times a day, I am asking myself why did I order this CD, and boy is he watching it all the way to the very end, and then it starts all over again, I didnt even know that he knew how to work the VCR DVD so well, I think I am going to hide that DVD LOL!!! Well I look forward to the conversations that we will have on this board! Happy Sailings

Welcome aboard!!!

We just had our first cruise this May. It was WONDERful and that's why we are going again in Sept. If nobody minds, I'm happy to organize the FEs. I was in one for the first cruise and its pretty easy to organize for a small group. I'll send out a note later today.

What excursions are you doing?

Thats great - Sign me up! I will PM my details a little later.

Thanks for organizing.

Well HEYYYYY Cruise mate, I tell you I am sooooo worried about the food, and I would eat at Palo a couple of times, but I don’t want to leave my little prince out, so I will try to eat at Palo's at least one night, Well for Carnival the food was ok, not the best but no complaints, now RCCL the food was FANTASTIC, and if you didn’t like anything on the menu which I always found something, every night they have I think it is called the Ship Shape menu which had Baked Chicken, Steak, and a Fish but I never once had to order off the menu, and I ate Lunch every day in the dining room at it was also great!, I know that many people say that they don’t cruise for just food, and that’s fine but for me it is at the top of my list as well as my life I am a Caterer so food is my life, and if the food is not to Par I am going to get in that Kitchen myself and throw down LOL

Did you say you are a caterer?? Oh boy! You are my new best friend. The nice thing about Disney (I'm sure other cruises too but since my first cruise is with Disney a few weeks ago...) if you don't like what you ordered or want more than one entree, they bring it to you. One night I couldn't make up my mind between a fish dish and a tenderloin, I ended up ordering the tenderloin but Marco, our server brought me the fish dish as well, "Just to try", he said encouragingly. 3 desserts almost every night I have to say by the end of the cruise, my clothes were getting a liiiiittle tight.

Can't wait to talk food with you!

Good Morning everyone. I thought I'd help plan the FEs. For those of you who are interested in participating in the FEs, please PM me with your family names and those traveling with you that will participate in the FEs, their ages (especially for children), any special events you might be celebrating on the cruise and your stateroom#. I'll get a list going and send it out.

This should be lots of fun. I participated in one our last cruise and it was lots of fun. Thanks.

I wanted to add one other thing. Because the 4 night cruise goes by pretty quickly and there's so much to do, I'm going to suggest we deliver FEs only once or twice at your leisure through the cruise. We can decide 1x or 2x when we have a better idea of how many of us are participating.

Hello! It's been quite on this site the last few days and just wanted to drop a note to say hi and see how everyone's trip planning is going? We got our trip insurance, booked our flights, hotels and rent car. So we're moving right along. Only 3 months and 11 days to go before we leave for Orlando.

Hope everyone is well. Have a great weekend.

 

[Pinky166]

Hi, I am having a quiet weekend just me & the dogs as my hubby is away until Tuesday. I have had fun though as the September hours have just come out so I have been planning our trip as we are at Old Key West for 13 nights with free dining before the cruise then 4 nights at the Poly after.

Hope you are all having a great weekend.

(If your interested I have a link to my pre trip report below.)

We always wonder how full the boat will be? And many people already know their stateroom? We always book cat 12GTY staterooms, so we won’t know our staterooms until September.

I know it’s too early, but it’s exciting to logon and see when DCL post our room assignments. The kids keep asking, "what's our room #'s?"

Kinda adds to the whole trip thing...

 

[LC30]

I spoke with my TA a few days ago and she said that the boat is relatively open right now.

Is it me or is time just crawling by......I guess I can pass the time by making a trip to SeaWorld.

 

[fahernand]

......I guess I can pass the time by making a trip to SeaWorld.

SeaWorld??? No way....it's off to one of Disney's water park!!!!

This year it's......Blizzard Beach!!!

I got to drag the kids and grandkids off to Blizzard Beach ...it's a tough job

I would LOVE to go to Blizzard Beach. We've never been and I know DS will love it. The only thing close to us is Six Flags or Sea World. Sigh....3 months and 8 days.....

Ohhh I love Seaworld!

I would love to be close by - we have nothing like that in the UK. We always have a day or two at Seaworld when in Orlando, I even made a trip to the one in San Diego when we were in LA a few years ago. I love Shamu!!!

Its lots of fun! It's a little roa trip for us to go to SeaWorld San Antonio, so we get the fun pass and try to get out there 3-4 times a year. We haven't made it out there this year and am thinking of going there at the end of June. DS has been asking to see Shamu and the sea lions. Yesterday he woke up from his nap and told his teacher at daycare that he had dreams about penguins and sea lions. Its definitely time for the road trip.

When is our 90 days coming up anyway?

 

[mitadoh]

I too have always been a fan of the big black-n-white fishie. When I was kid we went to the one they had in Ohio every year. Now that I am a bit older I have only gone a couple of times. Maybe next year I will drag my clan to SW in Orlando as this years vacations are already booked.

Just bought our tickets for MNSSHP pre-cruise!
